I Became a Law School Genius – 9



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 10

Lee Ha-ru who appears in the original work… was so to speak a ‘broken genius’.

Most Korean University law school students graduated from the humanities department of Sangkyung or Sahwagoehak University but Lee Ha-ru’s background was different.

He is a 100% pure science and engineering elite who graduated early from Hanyang Science High School and also graduated from the Department of Computer Science at KEIST in three years also at the top of his class.

It seemed like the only thing left to do was to continue to win but after experiencing some kind of ‘failure’ and losing all motivation Lee Haru chooses to take the law school entrance exam as an escape.

The problem was that he was so smart that he got a nationally ranked score on the entrance exam.

This was possible because the test was administered like a kind of intelligence test or aptitude test without asking about legal knowledge.

Feeling sorry for his long-awaited grades he applied to Hankuk University Law School and was proudly accepted as the first student but Lee Ha-ru did not even bother to study law.

Probably around this time he would have been living a life of a person with his days and nights turned upside down going to PC rooms and arcades…

“…an arcade.”

Come to think of it I also went to the arcade quite often in my past life.

After my younger brother collapsed I couldn’t go to work because I was busy mainly during my time as an exam taker.

As I continued to fight against myself in a five-pyeong gosiwon I needed a way to periodically relieve my stress.

The arcade was a hobby where you could get energized inexpensively in a short period of time.

“I miss you. “Would you like to show off your skills for the first time in a while?”

I normally wouldn’t have done it but the taste of alcohol and meat that I had in my mouth for the first time in a while seemed to have gotten me excited.

There was no way I could go back home right away anyway.

I walked around the busy street and found an arcade.

It didn’t take that long.

“Huh this exists in this world too.”

Surprisingly in reality the arcade I went to when I lived in Sillim-dong was still in the same location.

I was half excited and half amazed when I walked down the stairs and had just entered the room.

“Oh I have no idea really. “If you’re tired just stop messing around and go.”

“This bitch? Hey let’s play just one more round! “I don’t think you’ll get treated like that twice!”

“You’re not good at it.”

“Aaaahhh!”

A short woman wearing a sweatshirt hood and a tall man were arguing in front of a fighting game machine.

For a moment this cynical tone that seems to be steeped in the Internet.

It looks familiar somehow…

At that time the woman turned her head towards me.

A sickly white face with dark circles peeking out from under the hood.

“What are you looking at? “Did you see it?”

It was a familiar face.

“…Iharu?”

“omg. How did you know my name? “Are you a stalker?”

Lee Ha-ru was right.

I didn’t expect to encounter this way but I decided to try to convince him that it had already happened.

If I missed it here I wouldn’t know where I would meet such an oddball like this legendary Pokémon again.

“What is a stalker? I’m a student at Hankuk University Law School like you. “I am also a member of your group.”

The man who was fighting with Lee Ha-ru widened his eyes at the words ‘Korea University Law School’ and then slowly took a step back and ran out of the arcade.

There has been an old adage that says not to get involved with people who are learning the law.

Well it would be difficult to say that Lee Ha-ru learned the law since he has never opened a sleeve.

“landscape gardening?”

“okay. Because you didn’t show up our group’s score went down a lot. They said attendance would also be reflected by group.”

“Aha such a story.”

“Please do me a favor. “Can you come out for at least the remaining time?”

Lee Haru stood still and seemed to be thinking but then he confidently shouted.

“I refuse one!”

“no.”

“I don’t listen to those who are weaker than me.”

Then Haru pointed to a fighting game device.

“If you want to persuade me let’s try that.”

As I was looking at it in bewilderment I realized that I was inserting a coin and turning the device on.

With a popping sound effect light came on on the screen and Lee Haru’s character and the game level flashing in blue appeared.

“…Let’s play a game?”

“Not dislike. “Are you not good at these things because you just studied?”

Hehe this is it.

“but. Even though I’m like this I’m in the chair group and there’s no way I’m going to lose to a newbie I’ve never seen before…”

“good. “Let’s play one game.”

“Oh.”

I sat across from Haru and turned on the game console.

“Instead if I win I come out all the time until it ends in free. “I promise.”

“If you lose.”

“I won’t bother you anymore then.”

“Isn’t it just me who loses? Well I’m going to win anyway so it doesn’t matter.”

‘You only have that free time now you brat.’

Actually I am not the beginner that Lee Haru thinks.

When I was relieving the stress of exam life at the arcade my level of this game was the so-called ‘golden level’.

This means that he had the skills to play professionally if he wanted to.

Since I liked law much more I left it as a hobby.

Lee Ha-ru’s level was also quite skilled but the gap between me and a national soccer player was that of a middle school soccer team ace.

In particular games like games were similar to exercises or skills that one could learn unlike studying.

This means that even if you take a break for a few years you will bounce back quickly.

I am not confident. Jill herself.

[Here comes a new challenger!]

The phrase announcing the start of the game comes to mind.

And sure enough.

[KO]

It wasn’t long before the game was decided.

The one who fell was Lee Haru’s character and the one who survived and took a victory pose was my character.

Lee Haru was staring at the screen with a devastated face.

“It doesn’t make sense….”

“You promised right? “It’s coming out starting Monday?”

“How?”

Although Lee Haru hated studying the law more than dying he also had a side that hated breaking promises even more.

He was not a great person who would bite back the words he once said out of his mouth.

So this is it.

I was about to stand up with the mindset that I had put out the fire.

“How did you do it? “Just that?”

“…?”

“Tell me! If you tell me I will treat you as a teacher for the rest of my life! “Really please!”

Lee Haru suddenly approached me and asked with sparkling eyes.

Given the circumstances it seemed like she was referring to the technique I used to defeat her character at the end.

I thought it was just an escape but I never thought he was this serious about the game.

‘If you’re a gamer like this even if you force yourself to go….’

If we somehow get attendance we will earn attendance points but if it takes less than a day to make a presentation our group will not get points. You might even lose it.

“I’ll do anything!”

‘Or rather is it an opportunity?’

Originally I was going to be satisfied with attendance but if this is sincere I might be able to use it in another way.

I decided to try being a little more greedy.

“…I would have said I would do anything now.”

“yes!”

“Then let’s study law together.”

“…?”

It’s such a pathetic little thing now but in any case Haru Lee was one of the top characters in the story in terms of brain power.

In short it means ‘a child who can do it.’

In the original she later came to her senses and caught up with the rest of the students at a considerable speed.

‘In particular the intellectual property law which requires science knowledge as a base was so unique that it swept the competition.’

At this point the idea was to grow Lee Ha-ru faster than in the original work and benefit from it.

“…I can’t help it. “I will do it.”

“Is it true? “There is no doubt about it?”

“I swear. “For real.”

It was an unexpectedly large harvest.

“But what is your name?”

“Are you asking that now? “It’s Park Yoo-seung. Park Yoo-seung.”

“Park… I’ll just call you Master.”

“If that’s the case why did you ask…”

When I came out of the arcade it was already late at night.

Once again I made a firm promise to Lee Ha-ru that I would definitely come out and even took his contact information in case he missed it and then we parted ways.

When I returned home and reviewed a little of what I had learned this week it was long past my time to go to bed.

And Monday morning.

“Park Yoo-seung is in big trouble! “I was so excited that I forgot about it but we have attendance starting today.”

“Hi.”

“…Huh?”

“Please take care of me starting today.”

“…Huh?”

* * *

Hankuk University Law School holds a regular faculty meeting every Monday morning.

If there is no particular agenda there are cases where it is canceled early or skipped altogether but in this period before the start of the new semester there are many things to check.

Therefore Jang Yong-hwan headed to the conference room even though he looked very reluctant.

“Oh Professor Jang! “You’re early!”

Professor Park Soo-geun who came first waved happily.

“Did you fight with your wife again?”

“That’s kind of… wait how do you know that?”

“A band attached to the left hand. Considering the location the wound must have been caused by clumsy cutting. The tie that used to be straight as if someone had straightened it is now worn loosely. “I guess you didn’t have to smell the stew that always lingered right after work and you made your own breakfast.”

It’s obvious that he can’t even get food because he fought with his wife.

Jang Yong-hwan shook his head saying that this was not the first time this had happened.

“Hey the prosecutor background is different.”

Park Soo-geun laughed and stuck out his tongue and at the same time Professor Choi Seong-cheol the vice president who entered the conference room cleared his throat.

“now. “Let’s start the meeting.”

Seongcheol Choi said picking up a pile of documents.

“Let’s see… Have you collected the preliminary scoring results of the third-year bar exam?”

“ah. “I left it next to it.”

Seongcheol Choi said while reading the pointed out material.

“This year is similar to previous years. If you calculate backwards the score would be roughly 94% based on test takers right? What is the passing rate?”

“Our kids are always excellent.”

“Professors in charge please take good care of the students’ graduation circumstances and send them a list of those who failed to graduate and those who were expected to fail. “We need to check the demand for dormitory study rooms in advance.”

Currently third-year students took the bar exam in the second week of January.

In the case type and record type which require long narrative answers results are released late but in the n-multiple choice type provisional scoring is possible and was used as an indicator to predict whether or not one will pass.

It was no exaggeration to say that 94% was the highest level in the country.

Originally the bar exam unlike the bar exams of the past was designed as a qualification test to filter out only those who were truly lacking in skills under the motto ‘Let anyone who graduates from law school become a lawyer.’

However due to accumulated quota issues it has reached a point where about 3500 people take the exam each time and only about 1700 pass.

It’s almost like cutting half of it off.

Considering that most of the applicants graduated from good faculties and studied day and night for several years while completing professional legal education getting into the top half was no small feat.

“The performance of the second graders is… good. In particular there are many children with good prosecutorial records. “Thanks to Professor Jang Yong-hwan we will produce some prosecutors this year as well.”

“The kids did a good job. What could I have done?”

Jang Yong-hwan waved his hand despite the remark that put gold on his face.

It wasn’t just humility he really thought that way.

I could provide materials and teach study methods but in the end I had to study on my own.

“Overall there is a lot of good news. This time regarding donations Rep. Jeong a law school graduate donated a large amount of money. “Let us continue to improve the status of Korea University Law School and create many good relationships.”

‘…You can see the inside.’

Jang Yong-hwan clicked his tongue inwardly.

Vice President Choi Seong-cheol was capable but perhaps because he came from the financial world he had a tendency to be a bit harsh when it came to money issues.

Rep. Jeong who was mentioned was famous for his approval rating having recently fallen significantly.

There was almost no one who didn’t know that they were trying to change their image through donation activities.

I thought that maybe it was Choi Seong-cheol’s side who approached and arrested them first.

“In that sense what are the first year students like? “I understand that Professor Park Soo-geun and Professor Jang Yong-hwan are taking classes here.”

“I thought this rider was really outstanding. Personally I have high expectations.”

Park Soo-geun smiled and answered.

“First of all the top ranks are solid. The friend who got the top spot or the friend who got second place is at a level where he could pass the bar exam right now just by looking at civil law. “There is one other student I have my eye on.”

“It’s a coincidence. “I have one too.”

Jang Yong-hwan also added his words.

‘Did you say Park Yoo-seung?’

He was a reckless guy.

When the first question was asked I sat quietly and listened as if I didn’t know anything but as soon as I missed an issue hidden by the head of admissions I got up like a ghost and figured out the correct answer.

The skill of selecting and eating only the most delicious parts was admirable.

“That’s good news. Is the second exam for prospective students coming soon? “I would appreciate it if you two would prepare as usual.”

I especially liked how the logic was developed starting from the truth or falsity of the evidence.

That was the thinking circuit of the person conducting the investigation.

So to speak the same type as Jang Yong-hwan himself.

There are many students who are just good at studying.

If you don’t have that level in the first place you can’t even get into Korea University’s law school.

However it is rare to see a Won-seok with the mindset of an investigator who uncovers hidden truths and finds connections between logic and facts.

‘I have no intention of interfering if you choose a completely different path but…’

Jang Yong-hwan wanted to test the promising star he hadn’t seen in a long time a little more.

“Vice Director.”

“Please speak Professor Jang.”

“The method of the second test. “Can I change it a little bit?”

“…yes?”
